Hi, all
I just got the first job as Steadicam Op. I was really excited but the producer told me this and am really worried now.
Here's what he said:
"Just so you know, our insurance may not cover you if you are "owner-operator" (because CA state requires you carry your insurance as contractor; thus many production insurances don't cover owner-operators who are contractors). So use your company as a rental company then there's no problem."
As a new guy, I haven't set up a company for my Steadicam yet.
I'm just wondering if what he's saying is true and I have to use my own insurance or if it's false and there's a way to get it covered.
Thanks,
